1 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION AND INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND MALAWI Joint Bank Fund Debt Sustainability Analysis Update Prepared by the staffs of the International Development Association and the International Monetary Fund Approved by Jeffrey Lewis and Marcelo Guigale (IDA) and David Owen and Dhaneshwar Ghura (IMF) July 9, 212 Based on the Joint Fund-Bank Debt Sustainability Framework for Low-income Countries (LIC DSA), Malawi s risk of external debt distress remains moderate. Malawi s narrow export base, reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and weak international reserves leave it vulnerable to terms-of-trade, and weather shocks. Stress testing reveals potential vulnerabilities in Malawi s public debt situation. In particular, the external sector debt burden indicator (PV of debt-to-exports) breaches the sustainability threshold after an export shock. Malawi s debt situation is expected to improve over the medium- to long- run, reflecting strong economic growth under a floating exchange rate regime and a liberalized current account. However, measures to support a diversification of the export base will also be important. Fiscal dominance has contributed to the increase in domestic debt burden indicators, whereby the PV of public debt to GDP ratio reaches about 45.5 percent in 212 and gradually comes down to about 13.9 percent by 232. Stress tests to public sector debt dynamics reveal the need for significant fiscal consolidation and reform of parastatal institutions. I. BACKGROUND 1. Malawi s medium- and long-term public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) external debt is estimated at US$1.14 billion, reflecting a significant increase in recent years. Malawi s external debt was lowered to a sustainable level of about 15 percent of GDP in 26, after it received debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). The level of the external debt stock has increased substantially since then, to 23 percent of GDP (about US$1.14 billion) at 1 The DSA was prepared by World Bank and IMF staff in collaboration with the Malawian authorities. The analysis updates the previous Joint DSA dated February 1, 21 (IDA/SECM21-58 and IMF Country Report No. 1/24). The DSA follows the IMF and World Bank Staff Guidance Note on the Application of the Joint Fund-Bank Debt Sustainability Framework for Low-Income Countries (January 22, 21).

2 2 end-211. The share of multilateral debt decreased (to about 73 percent from 9 percent as at end-28). Malawi s main bilateral creditors are China and India, while the main multilateral creditor is IDA. In addition, increased government expenditure at a time when external grants fell sharply and revenue performance deteriorated, contributed to the build-up of the domestic debt in 211 (to about 25 percent of GDP from 2 percent of GDP as at end-28). The level of total public debt in Malawi is estimated at US$2.4 billion. Reliable figures on private external debt are not available, although the amounts are not believed to be large.

II. UNDERLYING DSA ASSUMPTIONS 2. The baseline scenario reflects the recent policy measures taken by the authorities to restore macroeconomic stability in Malawi. In May 212, the authorities implemented a set of measures to address Malawi s chronic balance of payments difficulties and to halt a slowdown in economic activity due to shortages of foreign exchange and critical imports. The policies included a devaluation of the exchange rate from K167 to K25 per U.S. dollar in May 212, and adoption of a floating exchange rate regime. Further policy measures are envisaged under a new Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement, including prudent fiscal and monetary policies, structural reforms and policies to enhance the investment climate, promote export diversification and foster growth. The baseline assumes a gradual reduction

3 3 in the external current account deficit through export diversification, and reliance on grants and concessional financing in the medium term. The current mining projects are expected to continue as planned combined with additional projects in uranium and other minerals such as niobium. It also assumes that contingent risks stemming from parastatal organizations are contained. The key macroeconomic assumptions are summarized in Box The evolution of key debt indicators followed a somewhat different trajectory than the projections in the previous DSA (February 21). For example, the ratio of total public debt to GDP was 48 percent at end-211, compared with a projected level of 34 percent, reflecting higher-than-projected levels of domestic borrowing. By contrast, the PV of external debt-to-export ratio, estimated at 61 percent for end-211, was slightly lower than projected (65 percent), on account of better-than-expected export performance. The annual average real GDP growth for was in line with the projected 6.6 percent, but there was a marked downward trend compared to a steady path in the projections. Going forward, the current DSA projects long-term growth of 6 percent per year, compared to 6.7 percent in the previous DSA. The current projection is consistent with the historical average growth rate of 5.8 percent over the last ten years. 4. Malawi s economic performance is expected to improve over the medium term. Real GDP growth is projected to rise gradually from 4.3 percent in 212 to about 6½ percent over the medium term. The floating of the kwacha and liberalization of the foreign exchange regime is expected to foster growth over the medium term by redirecting resources to exports and import-competing production, while containing import demand for consumption goods. In the near term, growth will be generated by the sectors that were hardest hit by the foreign exchange shortages, including manufacturing, transportation service, construction, and trade, as production levels increase toward capacity. Other sectors, including agriculture, will also benefit from the easing of fuel shortages. Over time, growth is expected to be led by mining and non-traditional agricultural exports. Following the recent devaluation of Kwacha, a spike in inflation is expected in the next few months (reaching about 2 percent by end-212), but this should be reversed with implementation of restrained fiscal and monetary policies over the medium term. 5. The main downside risks to the debt sustainability outlook are deterioration in the terms of trade and adverse weather conditions that lower agricultural output. Malawi s narrow export base, reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and weak international reserves leave it vulnerable to terms-of-trade and weather shocks. Stress tests (see next section) show that the main external sector debt burden indicator (PV of debt-to-exports ratio) breaches the sustainability threshold after an export shock a proxy for both the terms- 2 Malawi s stock of external debt declined substantially from about 112 percent of GDP in 25 to around 14.6 percent in 26.

4 4 of-trade and weather shocks. Malawi s debt situation is expected to improve over the medium-to-long run. The recent liberalization of the foreign exchange regime for current account transactions is expected to encourage private investment and promote diversified growth. Repairing strained relations with donors and more consistent implementation of prudent fiscal and monetary policies are expected to increase foreign exchange inflows into the country and facilitate the accumulation of international reserves. Box 1: Baseline Macroeconomic Assumptions Real GDP is projected to grow by about 6 percent per year on average over the long-term, owing to timely adoption of a comprehensive policy package by the authorities. The main drivers of growth will be agriculture, manufacturing, trade, and mining sectors. The adopted policy package is underpinned by foreign exchange market reforms and structural measures to enhance the productive capacity of the economy. The mining sector is projected to increase its contribution to GDP. New mining operations will include the production of rare earth metals (e.g., ferroniobium, tantalum fluorite, and zircon). Consumer price inflation is projected to increase to an annual average rate of 18.4 percent in 212 after the devaluation in May 212. However, inflation is projected to decelerate in the medium term after a short-lived spike, reaching single-digit levels. The nominal effective exchange rate is assumed to be determined by inflation differential between Malawi and its trading partners after 214. Revenue (excluding grants) is projected to increase relative to GDP in FY212/13 owing to the positive impact of a unified exchange rate regime on tax revenues from international trade by increasing the share of formal transactions being taxed and the adoption of an automatic fuel price adjustment mechanism. In subsequent years, both tax and non-tax revenues improve gradually owing to improved tax efforts and expanded tax base. More fiscal discipline, entailing expenditure prioritization to protect critical social and infrastructure programs will be required. Domestic financing of the budget is projected to stay at zero percent of GDP in the medium term but will increase to an average.5 percent of GDP after FY217/18. Grants are projected to increase to about 1.4 percent of GDP during FY 212/13 as development partners are increasing their support for Malawi after the exchange rate unification. This reflects the restoration of budget support grants and increase in project grants. Afterwards, total grants are projected to stabilize in U.S. dollar terms but decrease gradually as a ratio of GDP. With increased support from donors, total external financing of government operations will also increase. Current account deficit, including official transfers, is projected to narrow over the medium term. The exchange rate liberalization is expected to slow growth in imports (especially of consumer goods) and boost exports. Policy reforms are also expected to attract private capital inflows into Malawi and a gradual build up of international reserves. Exports performance is projected to strengthen in the medium term as the change in exchange rate regime is expected to mobilize resources toward export-oriented activities. Export growth is projected to average about 9 percent during Tobacco s share in overall export is expected to decline as global demand weakens and the farmers diversify to other commodities. However, tobacco is assumed to be substituted by other nontraditional agricultural products over the medium term. Imports grew at an average annual rate of 1 percent during The floating of the kwacha and liberalization of the foreign exchange regime is expected to contain imports demand over the medium term due to cost considerations and lower purchasing power of kwacha. Imports are projected to grow at an annual average rate of about 8 percent during the period Highly concessional financing from multilaterals is assumed to be the major source of debt (two-thirds), with somewhat less concessional financing from non-paris Club creditors providing the balance. A small but increasing amount of borrowing on commercial terms is assumed for the outer years.

5 5 III. EXTERNAL DEBT SUSTAINABILITY Baseline scenario 6. Under the baseline scenario and over the projection period, external debt burden indicators fall and remain below the indicative policy thresholds (Figure 1 and Table 1) 3. The stock of external public and publicly guaranteed (PPG) debt is expected to gradually decline in the long term from about 3 percent of GDP in 212 to about 14 percent in 232. The present value (PV) of PPG external debt-to-gdp gradually declines to below 8.7 percent during the rest of the projection period. The PV of debt-to-exports ratio remains well below the threshold of 15 percent throughout the entire period. The PV of PPG external debt to revenue is also on a downward trend from a peak of 15 percent in 212 and will remain well below the threshold of 25 percent during the entire period. Stress tests 7. The PV of debt-to-exports ratio (which is one of the external debt sustainability thresholds) is breached under stress tests (exports shock in particular). The standard sensitivity analysis points to medium risk of debt distress (Figure 1 and Table 3), as one debt burden indicator (PV of debt-to-exports ratio) breaches its respective threshold after the shock in 214 reaching the value of 185 (in percent of GDP) and only coming down to 138 percent of GDP in 221. Based on the bound tests, the most extreme stress for the PV of debt-to-exports ratio is a one-standard deviation shock to the export value growth in Tobacco still accounts for more than half of Malawi s export earnings, and though this proportion is expected to decline over time, Malawi will remain vulnerable to a shock to tobacco export values for some time. Burley accounts for the majority of production, leaving Malawi vulnerable to changes in tastes and regulatory actions that could dramatically shrink what is already a stagnant global market. 8. Debt service ratios are expected to remain below the threshold for the projection period. All debt service ratios remain below their respective thresholds (Figure 1 and Table 1) both in the baseline and under the shock scenarios. Baseline scenario IV. PUBLIC DEBT SUSTAINABILITY 9. Malawi s public debt has risen substantially since the run-up to the May 29 presidential and parliamentary elections. The share of domestic debt in the total public debt of Malawi is high (about 52 percent of total public debt) owing to increased domestic 3 The World Bank s Country Policy and Institutions Assessment (CPIA) ranks Malawi as a medium performer (the average CPIA in 28 1 is 3.37). Thus, the external debt burden thresholds for Malawi are (i) a PV of debt-to-gdp at: 4 percent; (ii) a PV of debt-to-exports at: 15 percent; (iii) a PV of debt-to-revenue at: 25 percent; (iv) a debt service-to-exports at: 2 percent: and (v) a debt service-to-revenue at: 3 percent.

6 6 debt issuance by the government and the financing of the fiscal deficit by the central bank (Figure 2 and Table 2). The PV of public debt to GDP ratio is expected to reach about 45.5 percent in 212 and only come down to the levels below 32 percent in the medium term and about 14 percent by 232. Stress tests 1. Stress tests indicate that key ratios could deviate significantly from the baseline levels in the face of less favorable macroeconomic conditions (Figure 2 and Table 4). Maintaining the primary balance at the 212 level leads to a slight decline in the PV debt-to-gdp ratio from 45 percent in 212 to 41 percent at the end of the projection period (232), compared to a decline to 14 percent under the baseline. A permanently lower GDP growth rate than the baseline produces a less pronounced decline in the PV debtto-gdp ratio to 34 percent, compared to 14 percent under the baseline. 11. Malawi is subject to a number of fiscal risks stemming from the activities of lossmaking parastatal institutions. The government s efforts to achieve fiscal sustainability and reduce the risks to the budget posed by contingent liabilities and operational losses of state owned enterprises are critical. In this connection, measures to enhance revenue performance, restrain growth in expenditures, limiting the National Oil Company to its core mandate of managing strategic reserves of fuel and a robust regulatory regime for public utilities that focuses on cost recovery, are very important. IV. CONCLUSIONS 12. Malawi is assessed to be at medium risk of debt distress. The external debt indicator (PV of debt-to-exports) breaches its threshold in the scenario of bound tests. Stress tests to public sector debt dynamics underpin the need for effective fiscal consolidation, while protecting critical social and infrastructure expenditures. 13. The adoption of corrective policy measures in 212 has significantly improved the outlook for Malawi s debt sustainability, but risks related to terms of trade and weather shocks remain. In particular, Malawi s heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture and narrow export base make its export earnings vulnerable to fluctuations in world prices of its key exports. However, the liberalization of the foreign exchange regime will help to remove distortions and thereby encourage private investment and diversified growth, and help enhance the country s debt carrying capacity. Implementation of sound macroeconomic policies, diversification of the export base, and sustained growth would help reduce the risk of debt distress.
